Brian Moon on Hawaii’s Best Kept Tech Secret Revealed

In the latest Nomad Futurist episode, co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence engage in an insightful conversation with Brian Moon, CEO of the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC). Moon shares his unique journey to the helm of PTC and highlights the critical role of digital infrastructure in the Pacific region.

Moon's background diverges from the typical telecom executive path. With over 20 years of experience in consumer technology at CES in Las Vegas, he brings a fresh perspective to the digital infrastructure sector. He acknowledges his ongoing learning process:

"Although I've been in the tech industry for many years, I still consider myself as much of a newbie as possible to digital infrastructure in our industry now, because now I'm learning a lot more so on what happens on the backend."

Highlighting the essential role of digital infrastructure, Moon underscores the vital impact of PTC’s work in sustaining modern society’s technological advancements:

"None of our cool kids' stuff – television, technology, healthcare - none of it works without what our industry does.”

Moon's relocation to Honolulu to lead PTC represents a significant personal and professional milestone. Born in Guam and later moving to the US mainland, he views this opportunity as a "full circle moment:”

"I can't believe I'm here now, and I'm working, it's unbelievable."

Despite PTC's 47-year history and significant presence, Moon acknowledges that the organization remains relatively unknown within Hawaii. He expresses his commitment to changing this, explaining:

"[PTC is the] best kept secret in the Pacific and we're slowly unwrapping that, and we're going to get bigger and better."
